I just saw the video, looks awesome. I have experience working on conferencing products and UberConference looks pretty sleek. Some of the pain points that they mention in the video are real. There are plenty of conference applications/products to choose from and not sure how UberConference is going to standout. Also some of the features supported by UberConfernce can be added to the existing conference application with some effort. Its not impossible to add these features as mentioned by craig in the video. Its a crowded market with big potential. All that said, Wish these guys great success.


Both Asterisk and FreeSWITCH, both open source IP PBX projects, have conference bridges that support noise cancelling and speaker detection, and I think several conferencing services do this already.

Of course, building a nice web interface that is better than the competition is a nice way to stand out. Unfortunately, you're often competing with free (as in FreeConferenceCall) so I guess you have to make something really compelling to make a difference worth paying for.


Great Article. I have been playing around with both PhoneGap and Titanium. Definitely there is no apple to apple comparison between these products. Both of them serve different purpose though similar in language and technology. Now that PhoneGap( Apache Cordova) is part of Adobe, not sure about the long term usage with respect to licensing etc.


Excellent! This is exactly what I was looking for. Some comments: a) Search for podcast (I didn’t see a search window) b) Iam currently using it on my Iphone. The site has more of a desktop browser feel. Can you make it more mobile friendly? With HTML5, CSS3 and some JS framework, lot more could be accomplished on the mobile side.


Glad it's useful.

a) Search is coming. I tried integrating Swiftype (the experiment's running at /docs/search), but perhaps because of their publicity yesterday, it doesn't seem to have been indexed yet. b) Agree it could be better on mobile devices. It's using Twitter Bootstrap for a responsive layout and I've certainly found it usable on the iPod Touch, but the interface, especially the nav bar, could do with some work.


Iam trying to open from my Macbook pro and the safari browser keeps crashing. Is there a issue with safari?


Not that we know of, but we'll definitely look into it! If you could drop us a line at support@pythonanywhere.com with your OS and browser versions then we'll try to repro.


Great Article. Very useful web development tools primer. Thanks for taking time to write such an insightful article.


My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it :)


According to wired, Kevin Systrom owned 40%, while mike owned 10%. http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2012/04/facebook-buys-instagr...


Those figures are from 2011 though. I assume they would have gotten diluted from the final round last week.


Thanks for the link. I found some interesting controls.


Excellent!. I loved the creativity. Best Tribute.


Just Curious, Can you launch apps while working fulltime for a company? Is there any legal issue with this approach.


I think it shows the passion for the product regardless of what level you get into. The net impact is what we see in iPhone,iPod,iPad etc. It could be argued either way, but the point is that the record speaks for itself. So when u see a product class apart from other competing product, some of these small gestures set things apart.
